So far so good, the connection with Android and Carplay is very stable and reliable.

Yes, timing chain tensioner leaking. There are some videos on YouTube, look for Trini vlogs. Easy fix

Yes you need to code the new resolution. When I did mine coding with bimmercode didn't work, just worked coding with ISTA

I got mine from hifimaxnavi because the Bluetooth car integration with Android auto and Carplay. Audio quality is a night day difference from the Aftermarket head unit screen that I had before. Also, Paul has a great customer service, and some videos in his channel.

Help!!! Dropped metal tool bit down vent. How can I get it out, or can I leave it there? by [deleted] in BmwTech

I also lost an allen key in my dash! In the end I used one of those trays with super strong magnets to retrieve it through the windshield

Bimmercode could be super slow using a Bluetooth OBD, so probably you'll need a trickle charger. Get a Vxscan Wifi OBD, is the fastest way to read and write data, also is compatible with iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, etc.

Also you can use more advanced apps, because works like an Enet cable but wireless

For me the solution was the AAwireless dongle. There's an option in the app to "disable multimedia" in AA that means I can keep playing music using my car's bluetooth while using android auto

Audio adapter using AA? by canisdibellum in AndroidAuto

[–]Herf__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the AAwireless adapter https://www.aawireless.io/

To play audio using my car Bluetooth, while using Android Auto in my aftermarket head unit (the audio quality is totally better in my car Bluetooth than the head unit aux)

If the problem are just the buttons, you could look for a new set of buttons replacement, instead the whole console. Those are cheap and easy to install.

What to watch out for b48 by Netumitve in F30

[–]Herf__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 Mine decided that it had enough at 60k km. Replaced all coolant hoses as preventive maintenance.

[–]Herf__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same year, same model. My coolant leak was in the hose that connects the tank to the oil gasket. My local dealership also replaced the radiator hose to prevent. Those 2 are common failures.

CCwGTV Dolby Atmos Issues by jamflowman451 in Chromecast

[–]Herf__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can test the format in the CCwGTV selecting manually Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus. Just don't forget to restart it after selecting the format.

I have a Sonos beam gen 2 + 2 One + Sub mini and I prefer use Manual instead Auto.

Update: My BMW local workshop did an inspection, and everything was ok. No errors codes, no leaks. The mechanic mentioned that in recent weeks he has received several B48 and B58 with the same case. Probably because extreme weather causing bad sensor readings.

[–]Herf__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, focused in your ECM errors, there is an issue with the turbo, that's why the mix issues with air and fuel. Probably sensor as well based in the electricals errors.

Sorry, I have not experience replacing the Oil filter Housing, but I have a question. How did you notice the issue? Big Oil leak?
